Strat Blender Wiring is a unique and simple way to achieve
multiple Strat pickup
configurations and tones without drilling holes for switches
and push pull pots. It
uses a custom made CTS Blender Pot that acts as a True Bypass
in the circuit when
turned completely clockwise. A regular pot wouldn’t work
for this application
because you would still hear the other pickup bleed through.
Here’s how it works…
A Standard 5-Way Strat has 1 volume and 2 tones.
The Blender wiring has 1
volume, 1 master tone, and a Blender pot. In the neck position
you can blend the
bridge pickup in as much as you want. In the bridge position you
can blend the
neck pickup in as much as you want. In positions 2 and 4 you can have
all three
pickups on at once. The nicest part about it is the fact of it being so
user friendly.
Everything else seems to be hard to use on the fly.
